On Jan 3, 2018, at 6.08 p.m. as a Northeast 'bomb cyclone' passed west of the Bahamas, the 'Grand Celebration' broke from her moorings at the port of Freeport by high winds and was pushed up against a wharf. The starboard side stern caused some damage to the quay. She has since been moved back to a safe berth by harbor tugs. Passengers were beginning to return to the vessel at the time of the incident, and reboarding was delayed while tugs brought the ship back to the pier. On Jan 4, the 'Grand Celebration' was already again under way off West Palm Beach, bound for the Bahamas.
